After reading the instructions one of the first things that needs to be done is to install 2 AAA batteries. I could not open the cover because it was so tight and I thought I would break the plastic cover. I didn't want to break it so I returned it to Home Depot. I asked the customer service rep to open the cover and they couldn't open it without prying it open with a screwdriver. We got the same thermostat off the shelf and had the same problem. This thermostat is designed to be mounted to the wall with 2 plastic drywall anchors. The batteries must be replaced every 6 - 12 months. Trying to open the cover after it's mounted to the wall would result with pulling it out of the drywall. This is simply unacceptable.

Programming is easier than a VCR but just hard enough that the forces of evil will not change the programmed settings. Once you get the hang of it you can get your settings down in less than 5 minutes. The thermostat also allows you to suspend the programming and make manual adjustments. Just press run to go back on the programmed schedule.

They are essentially the same thermostat. Each allows for 4 different settings per day. The 2300 also allows for different settings for the weekend.
It is easy to install. Simply disconnect each wire from the old unit and wire it to the new one. There are wire tags supplied to keep the wires from getting crossed.
A complete owner's manual is supplied in English and Spanish.
Per the owner's manual, this unit is compatible with:
* Gas, oil or electric furnace.
* Central air conditioner
* Hot water system with or without pump
* Millivolt system
* Central heating and cooling system
* Heat pump without auxiliary/backup heat
My only beef, (which is not a fault in the thermostat) is that due to the different shape of the RTH2300 relative to the shape of my old RTH221, I had to patch up the old mounting holes and paint the area around the unit.

You have to use a flathead and pry it open without breaking it. The problem is the backplate where the pins are inserted - they are way too tight. Once you have pried the backplate away, take a small screwdriver and gently push to the side both the prongs that secure each of the pins (see picture). Do it for all the pin holes in the backplate making sure you don't overdo it where the pin doesn't even make the contact. It will be a lot easier to pull out the faceplate when you subsequently need to change the batteries.

The unit is easy to setup and works great for saving money on electric bills, the built-in light makes the screen easy to read without having to turn on a light. Due to my work we had to move quite a bit and because of the low cost of the unit I just buy a new one instead of just taking the old one. The only bad thing I found is that it takes 2 men and a boy to remove the cover to replace the batteries without pulling the mounting screws out of the wall.

Installed unit as manual instructed but when I turned the electric back on, heat/ac didin't work. Called support and after a frustrating 20 minute call of not being able to understand the "tech"s" broken english, ended that attempt and called again with the same result. Called a heating service(60/hr) who discovered a tripped reset button on my heating unit, then everything worked. Honeywells "money saving" support is overseas so good luck if you need help; called at 1pm est. on a weekday.

You will get frustrated installing it and if you have to open it back up because you forgot to install batteries. You will ripe it off the wall. I returned it a few days later. I looked for a different brand at homedepot but all they carry is Honeywell up less you are looking for a nest. Don't purchase this thermostat.
